/**
 * Decodes an HTTP response into a single object of the given {@code type}. Invoked when
 * {@link Response#status()} is in the 2xx range and the return type is neither {@code void} nor
 * {@code
 * Response}.
 * 
 * 

 * Example Implementation:

 * 

 * 
 * 
 * public class GsonDecoder implements Decoder {
 *   private final Gson gson = new Gson();
 *
 *   @Override
 *   public Object decode(Response response, Type type) throws IOException {
 *     try {
 *       return gson.fromJson(response.body().asReader(), type);
 *     } catch (JsonIOException e) {
 *       if (e.getCause() != null &&
 *           e.getCause() instanceof IOException) {
 *         throw IOException.class.cast(e.getCause());
 *       }
 *       throw e;
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * Implementation Note The {@code type} parameter will correspond to the
 * {@link java.lang.reflect.Method#getGenericReturnType() generic return type} of an
 * {@link feign.Target#type() interface} processed by {@link feign.Feign#newInstance(feign.Target)}.
 * When writing your implementation of Decoder, ensure you also test parameterized types such as
 * {@code
 * List}. 

 * Note on exception propagation Exceptions thrown by {@link Decoder}s get wrapped in a
 * {@link DecodeException} unless they are a subclass of {@link FeignException} already, and unless
 * the client was configured with {@link Feign.Builder#dismiss404()}.
 */

   * Decodes an http response into an object corresponding to its

   * wrap exceptions, please do so via {@link DecodeException}.
   *
   * @param response the response to decode
   * @param type {@link java.lang.reflect.Method#getGenericReturnType() generic return type} of the
   *        method corresponding to this {@code response}.
   * @return instance of {@code type}

   * @throws DecodeException when decoding failed due to a checked exception besides IOException.
   * @throws FeignException when decoding succeeds, but conveys the operation failed.
